1 Fuel Hoses Lines/piping And Fittings problem

Failure Date: 12/26/2006

As I was driving the vehicle I smelled a strong odor but everything around the vehicle seemed to work normally (no smoke or overheating present). Less than 5 minutes after the engine caught fire. The entire engine is burned, the vehicle is a total loss. Experts that looked at the engine after the fire was put off suggest a failure in the gas hose causing the engine to catch fire.

2 Fuel Hoses Lines/piping And Fittings problem

Failure Date: 01/25/2001

Screw clamp that connects rubber fuel line to the metal fuel line on top of engine came loose, causing gas to leak onto hot engine. I screwed claim tight and so far so good. I think they should have used a different type clamp to secure this fitting.
